Good morning HN community,

Thrilled to share with you my project: Newscussion. As the title states, it is a platform to discuss the latest news, be it in real-time or in forums. This app is powered by ReactJS on the client-side and Ruby on Rails on the server-side. The server-side also integrates the open-source AnyCable for the web-sockets (real-time) functionality, allowing for Golang-level performance (low RAM, high connection count with minimal latency) in this aspect of the build.

I have created 500 demo accounts with the hopes that you may log in and play around:

usernames: demo-1, demo-2, demo-3, demo-4 ... demo-500

passwords: password123

I built totally different experiences for mobile and for desktop, so I hope you check out both, especially mobile.

I am looking forward to (and invite) your feedback; I worked on this for a number of months with this community in mind so I am hoping to read your friendly/constructive opinions.
